-Seth Godin
BUT WHAT IS BRANDED CONTENT?
“The best branded content has always provided value to brand, publisher and consumer, typically by demonstrating that the creator and the deliverer of the content (which are sometimes one and the same, and sometimes not) understand the user’s need and want to address them.”

WHY THIS MATTERS
1) Advertisers want to connect with consumers, but need proof of that connection
2) Publishers need to maintain/grow audiences - not alienate them - and need ad money
3) Consumers have near-infinite content choices - competition for attention is fierce.
These are the risks, and they won’t be solved by standard measurement methods
Enter: Neuroscience.
THAT’S WHY NEUROSCIENCE IS BEING DEPLOYED TO ENSURE LARGE ADVERTISERS CAN EXECUTE BRANDED CONTENT EFFECTIVELY
